Help Adam Fight Cancer

Hi everyone, my name is Adam Hagen. I am 27 years old, and I was diagnosed with testicular cancer on January 3rd, 2023.

My story

It started when I noticed discomfort in the right testicle about a year ago.. I thought nothing of it, and moved on as the pain went away..

About a year later, the pain came back while I was at work towards the end of my shift, and it was absolutely excruciating.. I could barely breathe, was drenched in sweat, and had a shooting pain throughout my whole body, something I had never felt before. I was pacing around like a maniac because I couldn’t stay still no matter how hard I tried.

My co-workers were unaware of what was going on with me. But I knew it was something I needed to get checked out immediately. Being an optimist, I still thought it would be nothing serious..

I rushed to the hospital as soon as I was able to, unaware at the time of how dangerous that could have been for my safety..

I was discharged later that day, and told I could go back to work the following day. I thought okay, maybe I can just push through one more day. What a bad idea that was.. I felt 10x worse and ended up leaving 3 hours into my shift to rush back to the hospital. This time they urged me to see a urologist asap.

After several hospital visits, and urology appointments, I was devastated to hear that they found multiple masses in the right testi, and beginning on the left. This is something that is extremely emotional and challenging for me to talk about, and i’m holding back tears as I type.

Having to tell my family the news was equally as hard as hearing it for myself.. I am not expecting any miracles by starting this fundraiser.. But I just feel helpless and didn’t know where else to turn. It has put me out of work for the forseeable future, and on top of the agony that I am feeling, I am financially burdened and genuinely terrified on how I am going to make it through this successfully.

I am starting this GoFundMe account to help ease my financial burden, and aid me in getting the help I need. Even if it’s just a penny, anything would help. My surgery appointment to get the right testicle removed is tomorrow, January 9th, 2023. I know my insurance isn’t going to cover it, and that I won’t be able to afford it. But I don’t have any choice but to get it done.

If the donations somehow were to exceed the limit of my medical expenses, the remainder will be appropriately utilized and donated to a cancer charity fund.

If you are able to help me financially, you can donate via this page or contact me directly.

If you are unable to donate, I ask that you please pray for me and my recovery!

I will update everyone as I go through this emotional time, and thank you sincerely for visiting my page. It means the world to me, even if you aren’t able to contribute.

Love, Adam
